Cuba is an entrancing tropical island. Situated only 70 miles south of the Florida Keys, yet with no modern American influences whatsoever it has some of the best beaches and landscapes in the Caribbean, and a fascinating heritage and exuberant culture. It is the home of rum and fine cigars, the rumba, the cha-cha, and the setting for Graham Greene's `Our Man in Havana' and several Ernest Hemingway novels. Cuban people are charming and resilient, and our comprehensive and excellent value tour will provide an intriguing and enlightening picture of a vibrant society at political odds with virtually the rest of the world. Yes, Cuba is unique.
This absorbing tour represents good value for money with lots of included sightseeing, accommodation on a half board basis and three included lunches.

nearby coral reefs present wonderful opportunities for swimming or snorkelling. Free to relax on the beach or take an optional excursion. DAY 3 - Depart Guardalavaca for the scenic drive through the Sierra Maestra Mountains, continuing to Santiago de Cuba. Named the country's `Heroic City', Santiago de Cuba has many stories to tell about Cuba's colourful history. It was here that Cuba's fight for independence from the Spanish in the 19th century and the revolution in the 1950s were launched and this is evident in the city's many monuments and buildings. The locals are an eclectic mix of African, American-Indian, French, Spanish and Chinese, which makes Santiago come alive at night! Latin American rhythms are the heartbeat of this city, and it is not unusual to see
